Durable vs Weebly

Usually an AI website builder takes a small amount of input and combines it with web design standards, color theory, and image databases. AI software understands the context of the data that you enter and generates appropriate styles and content based on those inputs.

Some AI website builders use a small number of generic site templates and simply slot in the generated content, colors, and fonts. But a great AI website builder produce templates algorithmically, creating more natural, nuanced designs. And a really good AI website builder will also write copy for you.

Most AI website builders are powered by an AI engine (usually developed by another company), like GPT-3.

With Durable, you do not need to know *any* code to create a website. Durable provides a simple drag-and-drop interface that allows you to easily create and customize your website with pre-designed page templates, sections and tools.

Some AI website builders require a small amount of code, or require coding for in-depth customization. If you are using a non-AI website builder, you should expect to run into a little or a lot of code (depending on the website builder you're using).

If you want to avoid code at all costs, an AI website builder like Durable is the way to go.

Some AI website builders charge a flat monthly fee, depending on how many website pages you want to develop.

Many AI or manual website builders will require an extra charge if you want to create a custom domain.

Durable offers a Free Plan for those who just want to get as website live. In addition, our paid plans include a custom domain, AI-powered marketing tools, custom management tools, and AI invoicing, all for one flat fee.

The location of every website on the internet is defined by an IP address that looks something like 192.0.2.1 or 2001:db8:0:1234:0:567:8:1. This isn't a user-friendly way to navigate the web, so we use domain names like yourwebsite.com instead.

When you sign up for a website creation service, you normally receive an account subdomain to use as your website address, such as mailchimpsites.com/yourwebsite. A custom domain replaces that subdomain—it's simpler, easier to remember, and better for your brand and visitors.

Weebly does not currently offer AI features.

That means everything is up to you: designing the website, writing copy, adding new pages, setting up SEO, etc. That's great if you have in-depth web development skills, but less-great if you're new to building websites.

Weebly offers a free version of its website builder with limited access to templates and other features. You'll have to sign up for a paid plan in order to get a custom domain name.

Weebly is owned by the payment processing platform Square. In order to use Weebly—even if you aren't planning to accept payments through your website—you'll need to sign up for a Square account.
